Cocktail Table Centerpieces?

I was originally going to buy some lanterns to go on my cocktail tables but then I decided to do mason jars wrapped in lace and ribbon since I already have tons on mason jars, I know you said you don't want that look though. What about glass cylinders with a pillar candles or pillars with water a submerged flower and a floating candle?

What about something simple like this with the flowers in your color? And the vase not as wide...

What I see the most are simple glass cubes or little bubble balls (dollar store has them) maybe 3-4 inched across with one big flower; a blown open rose, floating orchid blossom, sunflower or dahlia.

We are doing a beachy sort of theme and this are what are cocktail tables will look like.

We are just doing hurricane candle holders with some white and clear crystals in the bottom.

Here are a couple inspirations I have kept.

We are doing upside down wine glasses with a flower in the bottom and a candle on the base of the stem. I'm thinking of a set of 3 different size glasses.

I have this same question. i need something simple and inexpensive! possibly thinking gold mercury glass and candle inside.
